Croatian star to train with Manchester United from December?

Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic could reportedly begin training with Manchester United next month ahead of his permanent move at the turn of the year.

Mandzukic has been linked with the Red Devils since the beginning of the campaign and he appears set to part ways with the Bianconeri with whom he has earned no playing time this season.

According to The Mirror, Mandzukic has already vacated his locker room at the Bianconeri's training ground and he could link up with the United first-team in training as early as next month.

Mandzukic has no experience of playing in the Premier League and United seem keen on the striker signing for the club in advance in order to understand the club's style of play.

Mandzukic, who has previously played for the likes of Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, is likely to cost a package of around £13m from the Serie A holders, who have relied on Gonzalo Higuain upfront this term.
